Born on 22 April 1837 in Ranum to Carl Georg la Cour (no. 54) and Ida Theodora Wilhelmine la Cour, Louise married Johannes Frederik Spleth on 2 August 1866. Johannes was born on 16 January 1835 at the Barmer parsonage, a son of Frederik Spleth and Karen Magdalene Frederikke Ellefsen. He graduated at the upper secondary level from the Viborg school in 1853 and earned a master’s degree in theology in 1859. He worked as a private tutor at Skjoldnæsholm manor from 1859 to 1864 and, in 1866, became farm-bailiff* for that estate. Awarded the title of counsellor (justitsråd), he was made a Knight of the Order of Dannebrog* in 1915. Johannes died on 31 July 1918, almost five years after the death of his wife Louise on 13 October 1913. (Three children: the Skjoldnæsholm Line.)
